Why This Book IMAGINE YOU’RE A SEVENTEEN-Y EAR-O LD HIGH school senior given the task of writing a 650- word personal statement for your college application. You’re perplexed. Do you tell the story of your life or a story from your life? Do you choose a single moment? If so, which one? You feel your options are endless. After an hour mulling over the possibilities, you’re now more than perplexed—y ou’re stressed. You start to wonder about what “they” (the admissions officers) want, even though you can neither predict nor have any control over their thoughts. So you start to panic. What if they don’t like what I write? What if I say the wrong thing? Is there a wrong thing? Then you remember you have just 650 words. That’s one page of single-s paced Times New Roman to express the entire depth and complexity of who you are. You want to throw up. Then you do. * * * CollegeEssayEssentials_INTs.indd 9 5/3/16 10:11 AM
